Another thing I won't knit, but love

By -


Isn't Interweaves' gathering flowers bag lovely? I'd do it in a limey green. I wouldn't put flowers in it.
When you are really short, as I am, this bag would look like I was playing the bagpipes or something...
and it would be horrible for my shoulder.....
but a girl can dream!

Oh yes she can! Apparently Kate G is dreaming on Dancing with the Stars. OH wait, I am a nice blogger.
She made Buzz look like he could dance. That was so nice of her.

I know we are trend setters as knitters, so I just wanted to mention that J. Jill now offers a EASY SLUB HOODIE.
I don't like knitting with slubs, or worms I call them. But J Jill's ad makes them look so summery. I'd consider
buying one if it was sleeveless.

Also I have to mention that I am doing my part again for bringing back the babushka. I think we'll have a
babushka contest. Should we? It is babushka weather........winds off the lake you know



I talk more in the comments!

I love J.Jill and saw that hoodie too but I fell in love with the long grey dress. Must have!

Years ago I knitted a babushka all in seed stitch and have never worn it but I would take a picture for your babushka contest!

To deal with the winds I keep my hair very short. It's too short to go anywhere.

HaHa, I love the bag, but I'm really short too (I'm four feet ten inches tall!) If I knitted that groovy bag, I could sleep in it..

The nearly Thousandth post Contest

(just another baby legging in the image. Using my socks yarns a little differently) I think that blogger may not have correctly counted all the posts I've written. I've been posting since 2004 so I guess it is possible. I'm not going to go back and count them all. It says this is post 987. So we'll go with it. Im having a little contest for the milestone, but I have had writer's block since I decided on the 1000th post contest. So to take the pressure off, we are just going to do this now. :) I get crazy with pressure around events of all kinds. I just do. To enter: Please please please only leave a comment about this post on this post. Im much too flakey to search around differnt posts, afterall there are nearly a thousand (did I mention that number already? sorry....) Leave a comment telling me anything about Lace. If you dn't know anything about Lace, ask someone and share their knowledge. Do tell us who gave you this lace advice, to make it f...

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
